Projection cartography began 1569 when Gerardus Mercator placed a candle at the center of a stained-glass globe. While there were distortion problems converting a 3-dimensional sphere to a 2-dimensional image, Mercator's projection gave mariners a much more accurate representation of relative position. Students will color a clear glass "globe" light bulb to project their own map of a planet from their own imagination. Each globe will include continents, oceans, poles, and carefully drawn lines of latitude and longitude to illustrate how projection cartography works. After this experience, students will have the knowledge and experience to examine maps critically for purpose and effectiveness.
